Dak9767 said:Coke is acidic take some and poor it on your corroded battery terminals in you car and watch how it eats the corrosion off. Sound like a bad idea to put it in a w/c setup.
AkuSokuZan said:coke disolves nails teeth... etc. unless you want to test to see if it eats through a radiator ;p
otherwise i'd say no way
Danjul said:but infact, i why should that be a problem? theres no corrosion in my wc system i mean it wont eat the metall thru? or?
Bugsmasher said:Well...thats the problem...it will eat into the metal Maybe not dramatically but the side products of that corrosion can cause blockages depending on what components you have and how restrictive they are. Its also not good for some water blocks that are fairly thin walled.
Now if you could find a base (opposite of acid) to add to the coke to bring it to a neutral pH value then it might just work. I would still use diet however...
custom90gt said:coke is actually basic, so you would need to add an acid to neutralize it. I would think that after a while the syrup would gum up your blocks and what not, but I dunno. Sounds crazy to me, but who knows it could lead to the lowest temps ever possible, lol.

it has a pH level of 2.5 (right between vinegar and gastric acid)
